Beit known that we', JOHN GrLnEn'r and PETER M. SoEIELn, bothof Newark, in the county of Essex, and

-Stute of New Jersey, have invented a. newcndluseful `Il11p1'.'neh.'1eutin Sheet-MetalWushBowls; :md-'We do hecehy'declare that the following isoI full, clear, und exact. description of the s,ame,`reference being had tothe accompanying drawings, making a, portion ovfvthis specficatiomin ivhichf- I Figure 1 isa verticaltransverse section of n. wesh-'bowl constructed according to my invention.

Figure 2 is a. detached1 side View of .a portion of the sume. v

Similar. letters of reference indicate corifespondin'g parts iii both gures. v

Infthe ordinary ni-et-hod of constructing;v tin-Wre, in which thesuppcrtiug flange and bottom of the vessel ere fornied out of'one `piecetof metal, the upper Vpart is attached hy soldering, es it were, edge to edge. .This is found to be very weak, unless the solder is pu't on thick, in. which casoit has the appearanceof work of anv unsiiillful nicchanic. The object of this. invention is `to 'form the connection both njeater in uppoaraneefandstronger, and it consists inn supporting rim, forned in one piece,"with a. concave' bottom, and constructed with` 'a crcusnfercntil'rebafte, in which the lower-edges' of the dering sides of the bowlare soldered, 'the desired objects being hy this fmesins eiectuollj'r'secured.l

" V'.ogrvmblc others to understand the nat-ure and construction of our invention, we will proceed to describe'it Y The supporting rim'ofthe howl is marked a, and Vthe sides thereof are in proflefcurvcd o r-oglee-shaped, in order to give au ornamental lappearance to the seid rim. This rim a is formed of tin or other suitable sheet metal, und is made inonefrp'ie'co with the bottom, b, lthe lutter being made concave, as shown 'more fullyv in'g'. 1,

and also represented in dottedoutlne in iig.- 2. Formed at thepcriphe'ry ofthisbottom, b, at thc upper edge of the 'rim a, is an annular,rehitteindicated at a', which receives the lower-edge of the daring or sloping sides c ofthebowl. the seid edges -being secuxfeduin-'the aforesaid rebate hy soldering, as represented at 12".'

in figfl. V l h By' thus forming Athezrnl"undbottoul in one, instead of two pieces; the Plubor of soldering the said parts to the sides of the bowl'is mnteriallyreduced, and, inasmuch' as the rim ltney be ,convenientlymadeof any suitable ornnufentnl configuration .during the operhtiou oi' 'slinping the bottoni formed'therowtmfthc bowl 1s rendered inuch more ornutnentnl in uppeairunce, without in nny'way detraeting' fiom 'theeconomy resulting from the peculizirityofi'ts construction. i i

, What -We claim s our'dnvention, and dsire to secure by' LettersfPutent, is A Y Th'ecircumferentul rebate a"uround;the bais, a, suhstantially'zts shown and "described, for forrning the conncctionhetwcen the boseund't'ho p'perp'art cof the vessel, as set' forth. 4
